THE CURSE of the Scottish tourist industry could soon be at an end – as Scots boffins unveil a cure for the pesky midgie.
A spray which can cover a whole room in a protective anti-midge blanket is expected to be on general sale early next year.
While a cream for use by hillwalkers, farmers and tourists is also being planned for a year later.
The new innovation, which uses natural body chemicals to repel the insects, could save Scotland a whopping £300 million in lost tourism revenue each year.
Researchers from Aberdeen University and an English institute have revealed their trials of the revolutionary repellent have been successful.
